Hi all,
Not sure if I'm posting this in the right forum if not then I'm sorry and hope that the Sysop will move this to the right place.
I use both a Desktop (Pentium 4, 1.8GHz, 1G RAM, Windows XP Professional Service Pack 2) and a Notebook (Pentium 4, 2.8GHz, 960MB RAM, Windows XP Professional) and up until now both have been working fine. Yesterday I was working on an Excel spreadsheet on my Desktop computer and after I saved it the PC when funny and from that time on has been working slow as a dog. I wait what seems for ever to load up anything even simple MS Paint. Even though I saved the Excel spreadsheet it seems to have disappeared!!!!
I ran the Windows Task Manager on both and see that on the Desktop the CPU is getting hammered 100% CPU usage and it's a thing called spoolsv.exe that's doin all the hogging at sometimes 98+% whereas on the Notebook System Idle Process is at 98+%
I ran Ad-Aware SE Personal last night and cleared 5 things but it still is working like a dog.....
Can anyone please suggets how I can fix this problem.
